Will, thank you for showing everyone that not only Republicans are guilty of simplistic thinking.
Let me see if I understand your logic. Bicyclists may crash if they ride their bikes in the rails, therefore, the street car and tracks should be removed.
And here I thought George Bush was the dumbest man in America.

You see, George W has had a very energy-efficient geo-thermal heat pump on his ranch and I installed one on a building project within the last year or so. Well, today I heard on the news that Al Gore has (finally) just installed a geo-thermal heat pump at his home (following criticism for his heavy duty energy consumption). Wait to go, Al!

And all these things were done in secret. 31And Cain said: Truly I am Mahan, the master of this great secret, that I may murder and get gain. Wherefore Cain was called Master Mahan, and he gloried in his wickedness. 32And Cain went into the field, and Cain talked with Abel, his brother. And it came to pass that while they were in the field, Cain rose up against Abel, his brother, and slew him.”

The sun/earth temperature thing is OLD. The last major study was years ago, discredited in actual science journals. That has been factored into every model/paper in the last decade. This isn’t news. The magma in Greenland is ONE vector of heat, not the only one. Just like in EVERY debate Republicans get into (even Biblical ones like those pesky gays) they just smorgasbord through the bits of data they want (like Bush does on national intelligence) and ignore what they don’t like. PLEASE just go back to your prayer meeting and leave the adults (Democrats) alone to fix your mess (like having to raise taxes to pay back the trillions childish Republicans overspent in the last 6 years).

Speaking of rails, it looks like they are goin gto take another look at possibly keeping the tracks on the east side. Looks like somebody got smart (and it wasn’t Ron Sims).
What I thought was obvious, but apparently isn’t… is that the cycling component of Seattle traffic thinks that the decision on the Particular placement of these particular SLUT tracks appears to have been made with callous disregard to cyclist’s safety. Id Est they run along the right edge of a multi lane road (where the motoring component of Seattle tracks expects the cyclists to ride) and at points the tracks cross the lanes of travel at an oblique angle that is particularly difficult for cyclists (hemmed in by motorists) to negotiate.
Can it be done? Yes, but it’s tricky. Trickier in the rain.
Some motorists just fucking hate bicyclists; I get that, but the Seattle Department of Transportation claims to love cyclists, so why the indifferent engineering?
That is, I believe, why the your cycling neighbors and family members are upset. Is it unreasonable of them? You decide.
The street car’s rails travel on city streets for about 1 mile. That’s 1 mile out of how many thousands of miles of trackless Seattle streets?
– Can’t bicyclists just be a little more careful around the tracks?
– Can’t bicyclists travel on other parallel roads one block over for all, or a portion of their trip?
– Before the 1950’s, many American cities had hundreds of miles of street car lines. How did bicyclists manage back then?
– Many cities around the world have street cars. How do the bicyclists in those cities manage?

Some cyclists are just fucking whiners. I see this as more prima donna skinny tire cycle whining coming from the same spandex crowd that won’t ride outside the fog lines because they might get a flat.
Believe it or not, many cyclists actually WANT to be hit by a car at least once in their life. It sounds crazy, but it’s a macho thing. They want the war story. In the cycling community, as insane as this sounds, if you haven’t been hit by a car, then you are a lightweight. You aren’t a true cyclist. You’re a pussy. A newbie. You can’t hang with the big boys. It’s like a badge of honor or something. It’s sick, if you ask me.
BS,
My boss at Boeing about 8-9 years ago was hit by a car while he was riding his bike into work. He needed something like 35 stitches in his face and some reconstructive surgery. I can assure you that he had no interest in being hit by a car either before or after that.
You’ve already made a spectacular ass of yourself in this comment thread. You might want to call it quits and try again in another thread…
I said many, not all. Your boss is the exception. And when I say they want a war story, I’m not talking about something that serious. They want to be hit by a car, but not to the point where they have to have surgery. I’ve been around a lot of cyclists. I see how their chest starts to puff out, and I see the macho swagger they get when the start reeling-off their accidents. There is no mistake about it. They are proud of them.
